All of the machines in a Bro cluster must be running the same OS
version, because when you run "broctl install" (or "broctl deploy"),
broctl will copy the bro installation (the executables and scripts)
from the manager to all of the other machines in your cluster.
This ensures that all machines in the cluster run the same version
of Bro with the same configuration.
If you had previously built and installed Bro on worker-2, then
it would just get overwritten by broctl.
